oh my damn nerves but seriously.


My shoulders are hunching so bad now that I need to take muscle relaxants to function. I can't sit with my phone in my hand at all and hand work is challenging.
I am getting shooting pains all down my arms and numbness and tingling too, because of pinched nerves.
Today they bombed me with a "you have to move every 72 hours" placard. I don't know why, but they've changed their minds on letting us live here quiet.  For now, I'm swapping car and bus and let's see how well that works. 
I have a charity worker helping file taxes and apply to housing and stuff, and we met today.  I am still scared of her but treating her like she has my interests first, hoping she does. It's not like I have anything to hide anyway.
So, that's the update, not much to say.

End of January, good news mostly

I feel so solitary tonight. Like, I want to just talk about things but there's not really an outlet. I went to the knitting group for the 3rd week. I was proud to show off my socks but they were ignored, except maybe for the dude who soon after went from sitting beside me to sitting across the room and table from me. Swiftly, much less. I found that move so pointed I just packed up and left. After all, I wanted to learn socks and I did.  This has me having to think more deeply about my desire for community vs my nerves. See, another thing I just figured out is what ails me. It's not CFS, or MS or another mysterious nervous system disorder. No, it's simple nervous exhaustion. I didn't realiize itcould manifest like this.With such a wide range of alarming symptoms. So I am now adding nerve system rest to my lifestyle. One way is to lay quiet with ablindfold, possibly knitting, or with ambient or classical music playing and no ads. Another is to mask the city noises ...

locomotive speed

I wanted things to pick up.  I guess I'm getting my wish. LOL  I've certainly made an effort to prod things into movement. So more appointments are booked. Turns out the cancer society/center folks are on my case and just powering ahead without worrying about if I get it or not.  I've got zero choice in appointments most of the time.  I expect I'm getting the ones leftover spare for emergencies.  I hope they don't collide at some point but then it's likely the staff booking are keeping track of that too? I cancelled the nurse for today and the stoma clinic 2 weeks away.  What the hell is a stoma clinic anyway? What more could you possibly need to teach me? From what I can see, I've got it.  And got it again. if not, google's been excellent including videos from other stoma patients showing solutions to things, volumes of forum posts with information.  I have nothing better to do than sit on the google.   I just think I very strongly need to...

Blog entry, water and tyranny

So I've been parked here since february. Going for water at the empty icbc building, being careful not to draw attention or overdo it. Then the situation over on the other side of the creek got ugly as local businesses decided to fight with their RV population. Who arrived here and parked at the icbc which used to be strictly policing the yard and now seem to have abandoned the building. A week after arrival this jackass is letting water run out on the ground so he can have nice sod to lay on (wtf?) and giving the others permission to steal electricity from the building. One person argued with him about something and he declares it's his territory because he was there the longest (not at all) and if they don't like it, too fucking bad.   This jackass is going to get the water cutoff at the least, get us swept and the local laws changed at worse and I haven't a clue what to do. I have run into this kind of bully before and they work strictly on the basis of cheating a...
